Practice Nurse Appointments

Practice Nurses have experience in managing minor illnesses and injuries, but are also trained to provide a range of nursing care including; dressings, contraception, chronic disease management, cervical smears, immunisations and vaccinations. Practice Nurses also offer advice on preventing illness through weight reduction, smoking cessation and other lifestyle changes.
